Important News Update: UK SALES ONLY
(August 07, 2026)IMORTANT CHANGES FOR OUR
OVERSEAS COLLECTORS!
Unfortunately, we've reached a tough decision and have had to come to the conclusion that in order to manage our website, established October 2008, it has now become impossible to maintain dispatch to the EU and WorldWide.
Changes now affect all of our postage/dispatch overseas following the latest EU Customs Tax + other fees.
These must now be collected prior to posting any order which goes above a Standard Letter (size/dimensions) and up to 100g in weight.
It means we can no longer operate our postage perameters of Banded by Price, which has worked well from the beginning.
Banded by Price is automatically calculated on the total cost of all items in the shopping basket.
We cannot anticipate if a collector will add items which takes an order from a Standard Letter envelope - to a Large Letter (size/dimensions or 100g+) and; this is where the new Customs Tax & Fees must be applied.
Not only are these changes based on the cost of the order, they are linked to the number and type of items.
The details are not known until after we have received your order and pass it to the Post Office Counter staff.
The perameters are also set by each individual country.
So, we have turned the option off for overseas sales, moving to UK Sales Only.
See our eBay Sales Information below:
However, with our eBay accounts, we can set the individual postage per item -where we know that certain products we list (based on their size) and therefore, aware of the envelope size required to post it.
We will be listing some of our website products across to the 3 eBay accounts we have.
Clickable links below each open in a new tab/window depending on your device:

Where any eBay item is available for UK Sales Only - each listing will display the white and red image (featured in this news item), to clearly identify them.
Note: this is still a work in progress and will take time, so if you have questions - please ask before committing to buy.
A Small Solution, perhaps:
For our website sales, and helpful for our collectors who have relatives/friends based in the UK or; a UK business address - then you may consider placing your order accordingly, advising the recipient in advance to expect it.
Obviously, you will need to provide their name as the recipient, full UK postal address including completion of all the necessary fields, including the Postcode.
Our sincere apologies for any disappointment and inconvenience this may cause our longterm collectors and those who have recently come through our website.
We would again like to reiterate that we have not taken this decision lightly.
But; having already had to cancel sales, refunding the full cost of the order and still leaving a buyer disappointed - was certainly not our aim during the creation of our website, when we started out in Limassol, Cyprus.
Kind regards
